Sending You Sunshine

I think I got my seasons all mixed up. For the latest Card Positioning Systems challenge, I did not want to make a Valentine or any other lovey dovey card. I was thinking of doing a spring themed card. Looks like my enthusiasm got the better of me and I may have skipped ahead to summer. I was greatly influenced by the day's weather. Sure it was a very cold day, but we had sunshine and blue skies (for a change!) And so, with the help of CPS Sketch #252, I'm sending all of you some Portuguese sunshine!

The papers are from Basic Grey's "Hello Luscious" pack.

The greeting is from Personal Impressions "Double Sayings" set, which I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Rich Cocoa and Versacolor Scarlet. The die cut shapes are Spellbinders Labels 13 matted on Labels 20. For bling I have 2 golden rhinestones and the 2 yellow roses frame the greeting.

I punched some ivory CS with X-Cut's Flower Doily Decorative Border Punch and adhered some dark pink ribbon in the middle.

As usual, I stitched all the panels.

And finally on the inside, just a simple punched border with the same patterned paper.

You'll also find this card over at Basic Grey Challenge #61. My favourite things? Ribbon, roses & rhinestones of course! Take a peek if you're into BG stuff!

About Me

I live near the sea in Portugal, with my sweet hubby. We have 3 loving furbabies - Peanut, a Doxie-Podengo rescue, Charlie, a yellow Lab rescue and Richard Parker, an all-black boy-cat. Over the years we've lost members of our furry family: André (14), Rosie (13), Snoopy (9), Turtle Joe (27) and Xiara (13). God speaks when tails wag and hearts purr... and how richly He has blessed us!
